A good double stroller can aid you in getting where you want to go, whether you're taking your children on a walk in the park or heading for a morning jog.

They should also have a canopy that is large enough to provide real shade, and also have a peekaboo window. Some models also allow breastfeeding, and include an especially designed recliner that allows mothers to feed their twins.

If your twins are in the same age range it is possible to think about a side by side stroller. This will stop siblings from arguing over who is in which position and make them feel closer. If they're very different, whether in the way they behave or age or temperament, then a tandem stroller may be the best lightweight double stroller option.

The majority of twin strollers are suitable from birth, however for babies younger than 6 months you will need to find a model that accommodates infant car seats or bassinets. For instance, the Evenflo Pivot Xpand Double has seating that can be connected to an infant car seat carriers and can fit a newborn twin. It's important to note that this model is a bit on the pricey side, so it might be a good idea to look for an affordable option for your twins if you want to begin using strollers as infants.

Another option is a modular stroller with a seat in the front and a platform in the back for children standing. Although they're not as flexible as other options with dual seats however, they are suitable for older children and can be used for many years.

Strollers for multiple children

If you have two kids close in age, a double stroller might be an absolute necessity. They are generally larger, heavier, and more expensive than single strollers, but are easier to maneuver with two children aboard. They can be especially helpful if you have one infant and a toddler as they can sit side-by-side rather than directly in front of one another, allowing both of them to view the world around them.

A tandem stroller is utilized for twins or siblings who aren't yet old enough to walk out of their car seat. If you have an extensive age gap, it's ideal to select a convertible stroller. It can grow with your kids and even accept an infant car seats (not all of them do).

It's important to consider the amount of space you have in your vehicle and/or home for double strollers. When folded, they can be heavy and heavy. They are also difficult to fit into tiny spaces or the trunk of your car.

Strollers for older children

Strollers have come a long way from the bulky 1980s models some older parents may have. Double strollers of today are sleek, and come with a variety of customizations that will support families on numerous family outings. They can be used by children as young as birth (if used with an infant bassinet or car seat) through age 4 or 5 and they are available in tandem double buggy or side-by-side seating configurations.

They are smaller and easier to maneuver than tandem strollers, particularly in crowded aisles of stores and at tight sidewalk corners. They tend to be less expensive than convertible models. Tandem strollers may be larger, have more confined space for the two seats and require more clearance in garages. These models can accommodate children from birth to age 4 or 5. The most efficient tandem strollers are designed with stadium seating that raises the child in front so both children can be seen. Some of these seats also recline or have an upright position for older children.

When choosing a stroller for your family, consider how long you hope to use it. Most of the strollers we tested last for a few years, but you'll want to consider the growth of your family as much as your budget. If you plan to use it for a prolonged period of time, you'll also need to consider the cost of replacing the stroller's tires and perhaps accessories like the child's snack tray or canopy as your children get older.

Before you make a final decision, ensure that the stroller is certified by the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) and has lockable swivels and easy-to-use breaks, and being free of recalls from recent times. Alli Cavasino, a certified child passenger safety technician recommends stroller pushers to look for adjustable handlebars as well as the ability to move seats up or down the frame quickly using simple frame clips, especially for parents outside the average height range. A seamless fold is another must for any stroller worth its weight in gold. It's also important to keep a good posture while pushing the stroller in order to avoid back pain and other health issues.

The seats recline to a variety of positions, and the harnesses come with buckles that are easy to fasten with an easy adjustment that doesn't require the rethreading of shoulder straps.
